The Balad movement held a rally in support of former Knesset Member Azmi Bishara, who is under investigation for suspected collaboration with the enemy during the Second Lebanon War last summer.

Over 3,000 supporters attended the rally in Nazareth on Saturday, and protested what they defined as “the cruel campaign against Bishara and the Arab population in Israel”.

"What is Bishara accused of? Collaborating with the enemy? Hizbullah isn't our enemy, the Israeli occupation is the enemy. Olmert, Diskin and Lieberman the immigrant will not succeed in removing us from our land," Hadash's Secretary-General Ayman Auda said.

Balad Faction Chairman Jamal Zahalka told Ynet ahead of the rally, “The attack is not only against Bishara, but against all Palestinians in Israel.

Sheikh Salah said that Israeli Arabs would never agree to leave the State of Israel.

“If the options before us are either to be kicked out or to die on this land – we will take the second option (Arabs like to die. There is very little we can do about this. NB). We may be killed and jailed and we will not leave this land. At the end of the day, we will win,” Salah said (And they like to win, though dying plainly comes to them easier. NB).

MK Talab El-Sana (United Arab List-Ta'al) said that being part of the Palestinian people was a great honor for Israeli Arabs, not a crime (Go tell it to our peace loonies, because I got tired of trying NB).
